Countdown to 24 Hours

Amy, Lizzie and I drove out to the 24 Hour site yesterday so I could check out the course and so Amy and Liz could hike and study. (However, apparently the hike took them so long Amy didn't have time to study.)




There was an adventure race going on and boy, is that something different! I told Amy that those folks use a whole different bit of equipment, etc. Teammates attached to each other on their bikes, strange backpacks, big plastic bags with maps.




Got in a great pre-ride despite the odd adventure racers everywhere. Let me tell you, that is a course for Sue B! Very fast and fun! The single track was twisty and buff, I think I saw maybe one or two rocks out there. Definitely a hard tail delight! We've had some rain so the track was practically paved. No dust, no sand, no mud, no rocks, perfect! I hope it's the same in two weeks. Should be a blast to ride at night, too.

Oh, I forgot, there were PLENTY of prickly plants! Some very close to the trail, some on the trail. Watch out for la cholla!
